[cma-l] watching and observing with interest

[Murray Dawson]

Hi Gary,

How much do you suggest that we should pay the manager of a Community 
Radio Station, or a Community Capacity worker?
You imply that over £20k is way over the odds..........

I believe we should be aiming to pay at the same rate as an equivalent 
post in the public sector - if at all possible (which is not always the 
case).
The work is the same (if not harder) and the remuneration should 
recognise this.

Finding a source for sustainable income in order to meet those costs is 
of course a different matter (but not impossible).

Regards

Murray
